Kang Yan looked at me with anticipation and said: "Brother, this is a vicious battle, my brother is wise and brave, if my brother is willing to go together, I can get a lot of help, and the matter of peace will definitely be successful, so my brother hopes that you will go together, I don't know what you think." ”

The battlefield is just as attractive to men, especially in the kind of war that protects the family and the country, and I agreed almost without thinking.

After agreeing, I remembered that Luo Rou was still with me, how to place her?

"It's better for you to go back to the capital first to find out the news, and I will enter the capital to find you as soon as the battle is over!" As a last resort, I thought of a way to Judo Luo.

"No, I'm going to stay with you!" Luo Rou couldn't say anything.

"But it's too dangerous to fight."

"It's the danger that I'm going to follow you!" Luo Rou looked at me and said resolutely.

A tenderness slowly rose in my heart, looking at Luo Rou, if it weren't for Kang Yan still around, I would definitely take her into my arms, caress her fragrant shoulders, and kiss her soft lips.

"But you're a girl, and the battlefield isn't for you! And there are no women in the army! "In the last sentence, I turned to Kang Yan for help, although I don't want to be separated from Luo Rou, but the battlefield is not facing those rabble that we have just exterminated, the two armies are facing each other, no matter how high your martial arts are, it is also a leaf in the sea, it will be swallowed in a blink of an eye, I can't put her in danger.

Kang Yan nodded and said, "Indeed, there are no women in the Yilu army!" ”

I glanced at him gratefully, and said to Luo Rou: "Look! It's not that I won't let you stay with me, it's just ......"

"But ......" unexpectedly heard Kang Yan's voice in his ears again: "Miss Luo's martial arts are superb, if she wishes, she will get a huge help." And I'm the coach on this expedition, if I turn a blind eye, it shouldn't matter! It's just that Miss Luo has to change into men's clothes to hide people's eyes. ”

"No problem!" Before I could object, Luo Rou had already responded.

Although I have some resentment towards Kang Yan in my heart, since Luo Rou has made up her mind, I have to agree.

"And when are we leaving?"

Kang Yan said: "Set off immediately after lunch. I have handed over the captured bandits to the local government for disposal, and the wounded soldiers have been left to recuperate. Wang Xiao and Zhao Yang took a hundred infantry to escort the dirty silver to the capital. The rest of the people set off with us. The imperial court mobilized 10,000 Shenji battalions, followed by 10,000 Ningyuan iron cavalry, and the main force was drawn from the elite troops of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guangxi provinces, and at the same time, the naval divisions of Guangzhou and Fujian provinces were also mobilized to assist in quelling the rebellion. ”

"Oh, then I'll go down and get ready."

Kang Yan was also busy at the moment, and he didn't stay long, and said, "Okay! I still have some things to explain to the magistrate here, so I won't keep you. ”

In fact, there is nothing to clean up, I went back to the room and took the package and left, it was very neat, but when I thought of the fierce battle not far away, I cherished every moment of leisure time with Luo Rou in my heart. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that when I go to the battlefield, I really don't know if I can save my life.

Looking down at Luo Rou lying in my arms, I promised Master that I would protect her with my life.

After lunch, immediately set out, the army marched south.

Luo Rou, who changed into armor, was very different from usual, with a hint of charm in her sassy and heroic posture. I thought I was still heroic when I put on the armor, but when I walked with her, I was also compared to her. My eyes are always unconsciously attracted to her, and I can't pull it out.

During the march, Luo Rou pretended to be a man, so at night, she and I always shared a marching tent, and every night, I couldn't help but cuddle her to sleep, although separated by two sets of thick armor, but it couldn't stop love from growing around us.

I'm already very content with just hugging Luo Rou, and occasionally I can kiss her pretty face and fragrant lips (of course, this will face her corporal punishment, but her corporal punishment is not threatening, I even doubt that it is corporal punishment or encouragement), at this time, I feel more like floating on the clouds.

More than a month later, we arrived in Guangxi.

Guangxi's political envoy Lu Zhanpeng led the officials in Guangxi and the imperial court to appoint deputy generals Jiang Song and Zheng Haoliang to escort Kang Yan out of Nanning City for 30 miles.

A large set of red tape and Confucianism in the officialdom made my head as big as a fight, and I didn't bother to pay much attention to it, so I followed Kang Yan with Luo Rou into Nanning City.

Nanning was called Yongzhou in ancient times, the south, north and west are surrounded by mountains, and the dragon head peak of Daming Mountain in the north was called Kunlun Mountain in ancient times, so Nanning has another name - Kunlun City.

At this time in Nanning, the city and outside the city almost became a large barracks, with military tents everywhere and flags waving everywhere.

As soon as he entered the city, Kang Yan summoned the civil and military generals to hold a military meeting to discuss important military affairs. Luo Rou and I were present as staff officers.

Lu Zhanpeng introduced the current grain and grass affairs, and Jiang Song introduced the war for the rest of the month.

"In the past month, Annam has invaded our border 13 times, our army has fought 21 battles with the Annam rebels, killed more than 1,300 people, wounded more than 2,500, killed about 3,000 civilians, captured nearly 1,000 people, and destroyed countless houses."

Kang Yanjue asked with a face, "What about the loss of the Annan people?" ”

"Specifics...... I don't know ......" Jiang Song trembled and said, "It should ...... In the ...... of a thousand people Left and right ......"

Kang Yan's clenched fists almost dripped water, but he didn't let out his anger, and said: "It's not all your fault for this, there is no commander in the army, the army's morale is naturally unstable, and it is expected that the battle situation is not good." Now, you should step up your military training and be ready to send troops to kill the rebels at any time. ”

"Yes!" Jiang Song and others responded in unison.

"How many percent of the army has been assembled?" Kang Yan asked again.

"General Hui, the 50,000 troops drawn from Guangxi have arrived in full, and the 30,000 troops drawn from Sichuan have also all arrived, and Yunnan will get the holy decree a few days later, so the 30,000 troops in Yunnan have not yet arrived, but they should arrive in these few days, the Shenji Battalion and the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry are also on the way, and the sailors mobilized by Guangzhou and Fujian have also all arrived, this is Wu Tianyue, the commander of the sailors." Jiang Song said and pointed to a big man with a pockmarked face.

Later, I learned that this Wu Tianyue had smallpox when he was a child, but after being cured, he left a pockmark on his face, so people who knew him also called him Wu Mazi.

"Subordinate Wu Tianyue has seen General Zhengyi!" Wu Tianyue bowed and bowed.

"How many people did General Wu bring?"

"Report to the general, my subordinates have brought twenty-five gunboats, thirty-eight cruisers, twenty large warships, forty second-class battleships, and six treasure ships, with a total of 9,000 soldiers."

"Good!" A slight smile finally appeared on Kang Yan's face.

I secretly calculated that after all our troops were assembled, there would be 140,000 people, while the Annam rebels were only 50,000, and this battle should not be difficult.

"Now I give the order, the army will march tomorrow and go to Chongzuo!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded loudly, the military order is like a mountain, who dares to say a word.

"Everyone, go down and prepare! You guys stay. ”

A group of mermaids walked out of the lobby, and there were only me, Luo Rou and Kang Yan in the room for a while.

"What do you think of this fight?"

I shook my head and said, "We just arrived, and we don't know anything yet, so it's hard to say." However, judging from the comparison of military strength, it should not be difficult to win. ”

Luo Rou's words are getting less and less, especially in front of outsiders, she is almost to the point of cherishing words like gold, only when she is with me is better.

"I don't know anything! Brother Wang, you will talk about the substantive problem in one word. Kang Yan said: "Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, 'Know the enemy, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles', and now the most important thing for us is to understand the situation of the rebels first." Is it a little strange brother, why did I drive the army to the front despite the fact that our army was not firmly on foothold? "When there is no one, Kang Yan is always willing to be commensurate with my brother.

"There's some curiosity."

"As you have seen in the battle just now, if I continue to train in the rear and turn a deaf ear to the invasion of the rebels, then the morale of the army will be completely dissipated, and the people will spit on us. Now, if our army is in the heart of a broken boat, no matter what, I must now seize the time to fight a battle with the Annan people, the scale does not need to be large, but it must be won, and our army needs to win the battle with righteousness. ”

"But now the army's spirit is not stable, and they are rushing to the front line, if they encounter an enemy attack, I am afraid that something will happen!"

"As long as I do enough work, I am afraid that they will not attack, and the impact of a victory on morale is worth training for a month. As long as they dare to come close-up, I don't need to win big, as long as a few rounds of small victories, I am guaranteed that all the soldiers will become tigers in the mountains. Moreover, Chongzuo is still more than 80 miles away from Annan, such a long distance is enough for me to react. ”

I won't say more, after all, I don't know much about leading soldiers, although on the way south, I took the time to read Sun Tzu's Art of War, Thirty-six Strategies and other military books, but there is no comparison with this professional soldier who was born with soldiers.

After saying goodbye, Luo Rou and I decided to go to Nanning City, Nanning is known as "the grass does not wither in winter, and the flowers are not spring and often bloom", the beauty of the style is needless to say, since it comes, of course, you can't miss it.

It's just that it didn't take long to stop playing. In this Nanning city, the common language is Nanning vernacular and Zhuang, and Luo Rou and I can't understand a word about these two dialects.
